Obama '08?

I made my Illinois vote for Clinton, and I talked my coworker into making the same vote (she wasn't even going to go).

I guess I canceled out JPB vote.

John McCain and the Republicans would be very happy to hear that.

Kicky - don't you know any Republicans except me?! Party registrations can be changed before the election and lots of Republicans in several states not allowing crossover primary votes are casting ballots for Hillary. The calculation is she'll be easier to beat in November, whereas he might actually win the election:)

You act as if the other option was so appealing. It is not. If Hillary really represented what a lot of Dems wanted, Obama wouldn't have a chance.

But she's been wrong on Iraq, on Torture, on running a clean race. It has turned those who were marginally against her positions into people who are solidly for someone else.

And, this is something I've been meaning to ask. What makes people think she'd be so much better at running things then Obama? Leadership is as much getting the people beneath you to do a good job as it is micro-managing. I've seen no evidence that Hillary is going to be any more effective then he will.

well that's one of you thanks.

Cycl - not a huge factor, but every vote counts. As to the logistics, check them yourself - as I said, they vary from state to state, but there's ample time everywhere.

Today's Super Tuesday and we're all psyched. We've fallen in love with a stranger. He seems to have it all.........chrisma, charm and good looks, except for those unfortunate ears. And his wife's cool too.

The press is head over heals. They have worked us up into a frenzy. The ad time is hot tonight. It's change we can believe in. We're back to the sixties and we're wearing a pair of those modernized Kork Ease shoes. Aren't we cute?

But who is this man? Have we forgotten to notice that we barely know him? Is being in love a good reason to nominate a candidate for President of the United States?

Well, he's been endorsed. Oprah of day time TV, the modern day reality soaps says she wants this man to be president. And whatever Oprah wants, Oprah gets. Her wisdom is the last word. Robert De Niro agrees.

And the Kennedys....the ones that glitter, that is. Teddy, in the voice of a santimonious preacher down by the river on revival day says Obama will be ready on day one.

We seem to have forgotten that Teddy drove his car off the Dyke Bridge on Chappaquiddick Island and left his young female companion for dead. But surely he's learned his lesson. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury and he was sentenced to two months in jail, which was suspended. Youthful indiscretion.

And the young people....isn't it great to see them politically active at last? We're so proud of our above average offspring. Shall we follow them anywhere they lead us? We learned long ago that if it feels good, we should do it. The faint words of our parents ring distantly in our ears. "Wait to get married. If you're really in love, he'll be there in four years." It was silly advice at the time.

The results tonight will tell us something about whether we're impulsive enough to ignore caution for the thrill of a new found love. Maybe we should wait and learn something about who this man is. Where has be been and where will he lead us? But it's not up to me. I live in Oregon.

Oh well, at least he's not a religious fanatic.

But who is this man? Have we forgotten to notice that we barely know him?

AZ Robocall Hits Obama On Social Security

Per NJ Contributing Editor Linda Douglass, this call is reportedly going out to Arizona voters:

WOMAN: This is Ann calling on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President. Hillary Clinton has been a tireless fighter for seniors [unintelligible]. Barack Obama has said when it comes to Social Security all options should be put on the table. That includes raising the retirement age and cutting benefits. He has even proposed raising Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars. Hillary Clinton stood up to Bush's plan to privatize Social Security and is against raising the retirement age. When you go to the polls tomorrow cast your vote for the Democrat committed to protecting Social Security as we know it: Hillary Clinton.

vote early
vote often
vote kucinich.

Alas I cannot, so today i will vote Obama.

I'd like to see a little outrage at Hillary using classic right-wing mailers to attack Obama.

1) Which part of this mailer do you assert is false?

Hillarys claim about the Cheney energy bil is comletely false.

[quote]Clinton once again mischaracterized the 2005 energy bill, saying it had "enormous giveaways" to oil and gas companies. In truth, the measure raised taxes on those industries.
